You know what I love about spring? Of course I love how the warmer weather lets us get outside more, when the grass turns green, and how the flowers bloom. I love all of those things.
But I also love how our food lightens up with the weather. Temperatures start rising and I automatically start craving fresher, lighter foods.

April 1, 2014 at 5:31 pmWe’ve been getting strawberries at the store for about a month now, but they haven’t been very good. I’m going to have to look into a CSA…maybe those strawberries (when the come into season) will taste much better!

April 2, 2014 at 7:21 amDefinitely look into a CSA! All the fruits and vegetables I get are so fresh and good! Of course it depends where you live as all growing seasons will vary, but for fresh produce, I think joining a CSA is the next best option to growing your own. 🙂
